MountainsMap Profile Optional Modules For advanced and specialized applications

+ 2D advanced surface texture module

Advanced 2D analytical studies and filters Primary profile

● Apply advanced 2D filtering techniques – remove form and apply roughness/waviness filters from Gaussian to ISO 16610 – apply morphological filters – denoise profiles using the FFT plot editor. Waviness profile

● 2D Fourier analysis for studying process-surface interaction - frequency spectrum – power spectrum density – autocorrelation – intercorrelation.

● Analyze fractal dimensions of profiles using the Roughness profile enclosing boxes and morphological envelopes methods.

● Compatibility with 3D profilers – display of pseudo- color images of 3D surfaces – extraction of 2D profiles from these surfaces.

● Overcome measurement limits virtually – join ISO 16610 filtering techniques with end effect management overlapping profiles.

● Generate statistics on series of profiles – the profiles in the series can be extracted from a series of surfaces or from the same surface.

● MATLABTM compatibility – use MatlabTM scripts to define custom filters for 2D profiles - execute the scripts in MountainsMap.
